Webinar for Schools: Halloween, Chocolate, and the Ghostly Cocoa Industry

Join Fair Trade Manitoba, Divine Chocolate, and the Canadian Fair Trade Network for a one-hour webinar on the cocoa industry!

It’s Halloween soon, and everyone will be buying lots of treats! But do you know where your chocolate was made, and who made it? This webinar is meant to give a positive but realistic background on the cocoa industry, and to be a platform through which to share ideas and insights on possible alternatives to the dark side of Halloween. Some of the topics that will be touched upon include child labour, the cocoa harvest, chocolate brands, Divine chocolate’s co-operative in Ghana, Fair Trade programs in Canada, and Fair Trade Halloween campaign ideas. The webinar is aimed at teachers and their students aged 12+, but all participants interested in the topic can join in. It will not exceed one hour.
